We are extending the existing structure by 10 ft., but as you can see in photos, neighbors decks on both sides sit much higher than ours. Any suggestions would be welcome. A: A cedar arbour/privacy screen would add privacy and make the area feel much more grande. I attached a photo of something we built for clients who also had privacy concerns: **Q: Back Yard best option ? Can I remove bushes and put grass?best option?** *(in Design Dilemma)* A: I think your backyard would look best if the garden edges were defined better with a small basalt stone garden-wall or even a 4x6 pressure treated lumber. A "Dutch hoe" garden tool will help easily get the weeds & grass removed. Use boxwood to hide the green electrical box if need be. Top up the garden bed with some hemlock/fir mulch if you can, and the garden will be looking sharp in no time! **Q: Exterior Redesign Help!** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am finally ready to redo the outside of my home. But I am not sure how to figure out what will look best. I think I want to replace the current siding with brick to give it a uniform look then paint each brick individually multiply shades of brown and beige then do the trim white, stain the driveway. I am currently getting an estimate to change the direction of the steps to face front and having a pathway put in. Then the landscaping will need attention. Thoughts? Suggestions? Help? A: A boxwood hedge along the front entrance will make it feel a little more formal but also soften up the appearance of all that brick & siding. **Q: Backyard design** *(in Design Dilemma)* We just moved into our new home built on a one acre lot with a flat backyard. We are all over the place with what to do with the backyard - deck, patio, screened in porch, fireplace, may be a swim spa (we definitely don't have the budget for a pool) We are okay with doing up the space in stages and are looking for ideas within our budget of 25000$ We are a family of three (one year old baby) and have no pets. I know it's quite an open ended design dilemma but we are looking for advice on how to design a backyard from scratch. We want a space to entertain (large dining), a fire pit area and may be a casual patio seating set. If we do a deck, we are keen on composite (Trex) A: It definitely sounds like your best option is to take a few screen shots from Houzz of things you like. Interview 1-3 design companies and show them your screen shots. Our design is $75/hr and when clients have pics of items they like it makes the whole process much quicker & cheaper. For the $500-700 ballpark upfront cost of design... It's a pretty cheap peace of mind! It's always cheaper to draw it on paper and start from scratch if you don't like it rather changing the landscape at a later date **Q: landscaping advice** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi all! I just moved into my first home and we have a blank slate of a yard with tons of potential but I'm overwhelmed about where to start and how to design a beautiful, cost and labor efficient garden! I'm in the Northeast so would like to do flowers and shrubs that do well in this climate and don't require too much maintenance - mostly perennials. I would also like to do some raised beds for vegetables somewhere in the yard. The great majority of the yard is full sun for most of the day with the exception of the areas under the trees. Any advice of design or where to begin would be greatly appreciated! A: Adding a meandering brick-paver pathway to the front entrance and to the back door. It will make your place feel much more welcoming! Here's a pic for an example of the pavers I'm talking about: **Q: I want to make it beautiful** *(in Landscape Design)* By accident I happened to find this wonderful forum. What a fortunate discovery! I really like the ideas and advice here. We bought this house spring 2015 and have spent summer and fall putting on a roof and "cleaning up" outdoors. No one had done anything outdoors for a very long time. I'd like to develop a nice landscape plan over the winter and I'm surfing for suggestions. The plan will start with the front of the house and then wrap around to the rear, but for now I just posted pics of the front. This is a new part of the country for us, very wooded in the natural areas, so I expect there will be a need to experiment a bit and we are very open to suggestions. Problems we have noticed so far include deer infestation (they ate all new of the hostas planted in the spring and they nonchalantly graze on the bushes and flowers in the neighborhood), clay soil, and lots of moles, chipmunks, and squirrels. Also, we have a beautiful, mature black walnut tree in the backyard limiting what can grow well. Zone 5-6 Landscape Goals: Improve curb appeal, increase privacy, and create a warm inviting feel. Flower, vegetable, and herb garden (may need to be containers due to pesty deer, etc). Please, I'd love to respond to your questions! A: What a beautiful house, marksa12! Have you considered two water features, or 1 water feature and a sitting area? It would add some beautiful, surprise interest to your entrance, as well as outdoor living space. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-11.*
